Recorder tips for playing:
- LEFT hand goes on top
- Use warm air, the "steamy window" trick
- Squishy fingers
- Cover the holes
- Don't eat the recorder
If you would like to play along with some of the songs we were playing in class the music can be found on the following page:

Remember those big measures of rest!
Here are some practice steps to practice a new song:
1. Clap and count the rhythm
2. Clap and say the letter names
3. Finger and say the letter names
4. Play!
If you follow these steps before you try a song you will be more successful the first time. Try these steps every time! Especially Air Fingering - cuts down on parent headaches ;)
